Kamerun campaign

The Kamerun campaign occurred from 6 August 1914 to 10 March 1916 during the African campaigns of World War I. British, French, and Belgian forces overran the German colony of Kamerun after two years of spirited German resistance.

History
In September 1914, British forces captured Douala, the principal port and radio station in German Kamerun, initiating the Kamerun campaign of World War I. The German colonial authorities withdrew to the northern highlands, where they defied operations mounted by both British and French colonial forces until February 1916. Following Entente victories in the spring of 1918, the German colonial officials fled to the neighboring colony of Spanish Guinea (Equatorial Guinea), and its former colony was partitioned into British Nigeria and French Cameroon.
